Melody: O gamla klang- och jubeltid [O alte Burschenherrlichkeit]

O merry, heartwhole boyhood days, I mourn thy joys departed I tread no more the golden ways, so free and lightsome hearted The fire that filled my veins of yore, shall stir this saddened heart no more, O ierum, ierum, ierum, O quae mutatio rerum! The student cap and dusty gown, they fill my soul with longing Like shadows o'er the dear old town, strange memories are thronging, And echoes from the past I hear, a burst of song, a ringing cheer O ierum, ierum, ierum, O quae mutatio rerum!
